Ha, welkom op mijn website! Ik ben Barbara en ik vertel je graag over mijn creatieve onderneming. Ik nodig je uit om een kijkje te nemen in mijn portfolio en in mijn blogs neem ik je mee achter de schermen van het creatieve proces. Veel plezier!

Ondertussen op instagram:

WHOA! Mijn eerste blog staat online! Ik heb een stukje geschreven over een branding shoot. Een van mijn eerste stapjes naar een écht professioneel bedrijf. In mijn blog schrijf ik hoe ik de dag met @va.saskia heb ervaren en deel ik natuurlijk een aantal van de foto’s! Neem dus snel een kijkje! De link staat in mijn bioooo :) (En als je er dan toch bent, kijk dan gelijk op de rest van de website!

[ p i z z a p a r t y ]* Special illustration for a special person. My bestie turning 40! (And a little reality check that it’s my turn this August… Gouache on paper

[ b u b b l e g u m B ]* Of course I’m a little bit late to the game but trying this #36daysoftype thing to get to know my #poscapens better. @poscaoficial Still struggling with the light pink, the yellows and the orange tones. Can’t get them to cover smoothly. So far I learned that the paper is very important as well, so I might do this one a larger scale some day. @36daysoftype #poscaart #typography #artexperiment #illustration #poscaillustration #bubblegum #artistsofinstagram #supportsmallbusiness

[ l e t s m e e t - I I I ]*⁠ ⁠ At this moment I am making smaller sized drawings (usually A5 and A4) but I am planning to make slightly bigger paintings on linen as well. Also I made some baby steps in linocut and linoprinting and I definitely want to dive deeper in!⁠ ⁠ Besides the digital works of art I draw to accompany the @mhxnl releases, I love to participate in challenges to keep my creativity flowing. Past year, the @inktober challenge was very inspiring. For the years to come I still have the pantone challenge on my bucket list and I want to complete at least one ABC of the ABC challenge. In a few weeks I want to launch my personal website on which I present new works and more background stories. It would be awesome to release some art as limited edition prints in a webshop as well!⁠ ⁠ If you have questions or projects you want to use my work for, do not hesitate to contact me! I am always in for a good cup of coffee and a brainstorm. Who knows what we can achieve! ⁠ ⁠ Preferred projects: commercial or personal illustrations, digital and conventional. I also love to do graphic design.⁠ ⁠ #marchmeetthemaker #mmtm2023 #gettoknowtheartist #supportsmallbusinesses #nicetomeetyou #letsmeet #digitalartist #artist #procreateartist

[ l e t s m e e t - I I ]* ⁠ ⁠ For two years I studied at the Academy of Arts in Utrecht, but switched to Graphic Design a few years later. I moved to Rotterdam and got both my Graphic and Multimedia Design grades at the ‘Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam’.⁠ ⁠ Unfortunately the economic climate was very bad when I finished my education, which made me switch my profession. I never lost the passion for designing and drawing and kept doing it beside my daily job. ⁠ ⁠ My artworks are made with both conventional and digital techniques. I am a stationery addict so if I find new materials to work with, I want to own the complete range of it :) For commissioned work, I usually work digital with ProCreate, Photoshop and Illustrator. Sometimes I prefer projects with the conventional techniques because I think texture provides some warmth and character to the end result, for what digital can’t achieve.⁠ ⁠ #marchmeetthemaker #mmtm2023 #gettoknowtheartist #supportsmallbusinesses #nicetomeetyou #letsmeet #digitalartist #artist #procreateartist

[ l e t s m e e t - I ]*⁠ ⁠ My name is Barbara and I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in The Netherlands. I am born in Nijmegen and got bitten by the graphic virus when I was still a little girl visiting my uncle in his printing office. Creativity has always been an important part of my life, although it wasn’t always flowing the way it is now.⁠ ⁠ My artist alias may seem to be a bit cryptic, but it stands for ‘Beautiful’. I chose not to use the vowels because less is more anyway.⁠ ⁠ I am open for commissions or collaborations if the subject matches my interest. I work commercially and on personal request. If you want to get in touch with me, please give me a follow and feel free to send me a message!⁠ ⁠ #marchmeetthemaker #mmtm2023 #gettoknowtheartist #supportsmallbusinesses #nicetomeetyou #letsmeet #digitalartist #artist #procreateartist
